Cryptocurrency exchange FTX, currently navigating challenging financial waters, has taken proactive steps to address concerns raised by the U.S. Trustee, a branch of the Department of Justice dedicated to bankruptcy matters. FTX is in the midst of a bankruptcy process and is now considering adjustments to its proposal concerning the sale of its substantial cryptocurrency assets. The objective is to facilitate the liquidation of billions of dollars in cryptocurrency holdings, ultimately to repay its creditors. However, FTX is treading carefully to avoid prematurely alerting the market to its intentions.

The revised plan maintains FTX’s position of refraining from issuing advance public notices of transactions. This decision is primarily motivated by the recognition that such disclosures could have a significant impact on cryptocurrency markets. The mere anticipation of a major player liquidating assets valued at up to $100 million per week has already had a chilling effect on cryptocurrency prices. Initially, the U.S. Trustee expressed reservations about FTX’s approach, emphasizing the importance of widely communicating any intentions to sell Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) to give other stakeholders an opportunity to voice their concerns.

In an effort to find common ground and balance the interests of all parties involved, FTX has chosen to engage in private communication with the U.S. Trustee. Simultaneously, it has committed to keeping committees representing the exchange’s creditors well-informed about its actions. The hope is that these adjustments will be sufficient to appease those who had reservations about the initial proposal. The fate of the revised plan will be determined during a hearing scheduled for later today in a Delaware courtroom, presided over by Judge John Dorsey.

Earlier this week, FTX made public disclosures regarding its cryptocurrency holdings, revealing that it holds approximately $1.16 billion in Solana’s SOL and $560 million in Bitcoin. These figures underscore the substantial value involved in the ongoing legal proceedings.
